One of my best friends is a 22 year old tomboyish girl named Karen. She is attractive in a plain sort of way, but isn't a dress or skirt, makeup etc... kind of girl. You try to grab the door for her out of politeness and you're told "I can open my own damn door". She enjoys camping, science, all that sort of stuff. As the lone girl in our group of friends we were all joking recently about us guys having to pee while we were all out in the woods. We said "Now let's not scare her or anything!" She was like "I've seen one before!" We said "yeah your kid brother's!" She said she'd seen other male friends pee before so we joked that since she didn't have a problem with seeing our packages out and at work, we just should do that. She cracked a smile.
We went on a vacation together in 2007. We stayed with some relatives I have outside of the big city. Didn't share a bedroom.
Driving her to college one time we spent the night in a motel. I informed her she'd probably see me in boxers. It didn't phase her, again pointing out she grew up around brothers and other guy friends.
We got to talking then about which of us would be the first to marry, who would want kids, and who'd be last. Karen has never dated anybody in her life out of sheer disinterest in going on a date. She once said she'd stay a virgin till marriage (because of religious beliefs) but recently said marriage isn't her thing and she doesn't see it ever happening.
Now I'm not talking about myself necessarily, but for a nice young woman of her age to go her whole life without ever being with a man seems odd to me. Is there a way to broach the subject to her of if she's ever thought about sex or if she wants to have sex to know what it's like?
If it helps, we have discussed issues together regarding her ongoing health issues which have required some surgeries. I’m not looking to get myself laid. I just want to know how to bring up a delicate topic with a friend
No others have asked the question too. She likes men, and is Catholic, she just isn't very relationship oriented, girly girly
To second poster, it's not that I over react, it's just we were all raised pretty strict Catholic. Like 2 piece swimsuits are immoral Catholic. She has always bucked all that craziness and so have I but I brought it up because it is contrary to how we were raised and how a lot of our friends are
